Iowa lawmakers push bills to reform recounts and party thresholds
Iowa lawmakers pursue recount reforms and stricter party thresholds as two Republican leaders advance bills. Senate File 543 would allow larger recount boards by county population, while House File 928 would let auditor staff run boards. Proposals also address voter registration integrity and major party thresholds, with broad auditor support and debate over impacts on Libertarian status and election costs.
